General jackson explains.

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 29.-Gen. Henry r.
Jackson explains his famous speech Of We'd
nesday, by saying that it merely expressed
his intense conviction that State sovereignty
or in other words, local self government, is
the great basis of liberty. He therefore said
and not Abraham Lincoln, as the typical
American, because the former represented
the principle of local government, while
the latter stood for centralized power. Gen.
jackson disclaimed any idea of disloyalty.

Wreck of the Propeller Vernon on
Lake Michigan.
Incoming Vessels Report Passing
Bodies Floating on the Waves.
Chicago Vessel Men Say the Steam
er Was Always Unsafe.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. 30-The steam
ship Superior, which arrived last night,
brought the first news Of the total wreck of
large passenger propeller off Manitowvc,
Wis. The wreck was probably the propeller
Vernon, of the Northern Michigan Line,
due here yesterday. Her owners here CON
slider her identity fully established. She had
a crew of %, and several passengers were on
board. The exact number is not known but
il is supposed all hands perished CAPTAIN
Moran, of the Superior, saw three or four
RATS, with men clinging to them, and also a
small boat containing woman and three
men. Although he made an effort to rescue
them, the high sea prevented his rendering
any assistance. The Superior, herself. was
disabled, requiring the crews best efforts.
The Disaster Predicted.
CHICAGO, Oct. SO.-If the Vernon has
foundered no one is left to tell the tale
Many will attribute her loss to overlooking.
Without cargo she was of deeper draft
than any vessel on the lakes, and it was inn
possible to load her with profit to her own
ers without making her unseaworthy. To
obtain great speed her builder sacrificed
buoyancy and stability. Every experienced
vessel man who saw the Vernoon after she
was launched predicted that she would
sooner or later meet with disaster.
The News Confirmed.
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 3O-The finding of the
pilot house of the Vernon by tug settles
the identity of the lost vessel. Scarcely any
other trace was seen today. Nothing has
been heard of those on board. 1t is feared
that not single soul of the 80 or more
aboard is left.
Captain Hawkins, of the schooner Will
liam Home, arrived this morning and re-
ports passing three dead bodies Saturday
afternoon, about six miles southwest of
Manatowa. One body was that Of woman
with long black hair. She had a life pre-
server on. The other two were men.
The captain of the steamer Lawrence esti-
mates the number of people on board the
Vernon at about 90.
The steam barge Burroughs of Milwau-
kee. is overdue and many anxious inquiries
are received as to her whereabouts.

A Naval Terror.

The London Times says that the most
internal triumph of American ingenuity is
the dynamite gunboat recently contracted
for and now being built by William Cramp,
of Philadelphia -Four years ago Lieut..
Zalinsky was detailed by the government
to experiment with pneumatic gun capa-
bic of throwing dynamite. His expert
ments have proved so successful that "a.
vessel armed with such guns is about to be
constructed.
The vessel is to be 246 feet over all in
length, with beam of 264 feet and a
draught of a feet. She will be built of
American steel with DETECTING deck from
which ordinary shot will glance off. There
will be four boilers to drive the two inde-
pendent screws. These, with the engines,
will be powerful enough to drive the vessel
through the water at the rate of twenty
knots an hour. The boilers will be placed
as far part as possible with water tight
bulkheads between them SO that if in an
engagement the portion of the vessel con-
tanning one or two of the boilers be blown
away she would float and still have power
enough not to be helpless.
The armament will be the unique feat
ure of this craft. 1t will consist Of three
steel tubes lined with brass, seventy feet in
length and ten and one-half inches in diam
eter. These are the guns. From these
will be thrown by air pressure projectiles
containing 200 pounds of nitro-gelatine
each to the distance of mile and at che
rate of one shot in two minutes from each
gun. There are to be two reservoirs for
the compressed air, from which the air will
be let into the tube behind the projectile at
pressure of 1000 pounds to the square
inch if necessary. As the guns will be i'm
movably fixed in their place, the range will
be regulated by the pressure of air allowed
to propel the projectile, and the guns can
only be fred while the vessel is 'Shead OF"
to the enemy.
On suggesting to the engineer in charge
that the vessel was designed to attack the
enemy on the 'sbillygoat" principle only, he
said the guns would throw sixty shells, or
six tons of the most terrific explosive known,
during twenty minutes of the time they are
steaming up to the enemy, and che presump-
ton is that before that time has elapsed
there will be no enemy left.
An advantage claimed by this pneumatic
gun method Of sending torpedo at the
enemy is its economy. The torpedoes
which are steered by electric wires from q
a station on the shore cost from 81 900 to
$4,000 each, and of course are destroyed
on being used, Each shot from this dy-
Mantle ship containing the same weight Of
explosive will cost but 5000.

THE SILENT RIVER.
tAuTHoRsHIP uNKNowN.l

Somewhere. where the tide of our years ebbs ont
And hushed is the lingering breath,
"here the known and the unknown strangel
Flows the mystic river OF death.
through IN the shadowy vale SO dark and chill.
Where the eyes grow dim and the pulses still,
There flows the silent river.
The years pass out from your feverIsh grasp
Unheeding each bitter regret;
Some darkened with sorrow and grieving anC
In halo of sunshine set
And each in its passing has borne us on
Yet nearer the shores of the vast unknown,
And nearer the silent river
Sometimes we dream of the beautiful land,
So free from all sorrow and tears,
And with weary hands folded we earnestly long
To rest from our doubtings and fears;
And yet between US and the longed-for goal
The shadows lie dark. while increasingly roll
The waves of the silent river.
Waiting while loved ones pass over the tide
Slow-drifting far out from our sight,
We whisper good bye" through our tears, while
Sweet roses DER brows still and white,
Welist for some sound from the farther strand,
But no echo floats back from the unknown land,
Across the silent river.
Yet think. sometimes in the silent land
The angels will lovingly wait,
And over the river so dark and still,
And up to the beautiful gate
OF the city where night neer darkens the day,
They Will lead them safe through the lonely way,
Across the silent river.
And when to pass over the river so cold
For my soul the summons shall be-
May the angels Of light from the other shore.
In the shadows be waiting for me-
To safely guide DER the unknown strand
Through the untried way to the better land,
Beyond the silent river
